KENTUCKY-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN
When fast-food restaurants first started, their goal was to serve good, old-fashioned, country-style home-cooking. These days, it's the reverse...home cooks try to reproduce fast-food. A recipe such as this is what Colonel Sanders wanted to mass market as good as home-cooking when he established KFC, but this old timey recipe is *nothing* like take-out food. This is NOT a copycat recipe for Colonel Harland Sanders' world-famous Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you are in the mood for take-out chicken, please pass this recipe on by. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947 Lovely served with griddlecakes, waffles, mashed potatoes or hominy grits. Don't forget the cream gravy! Cooking time approximate

Steps:
- Mix the flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices; set aside.
- Mix the buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl until combined. Soak the chicken in the buttermilk mixture at room temperature, 20-30 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dip the chicken pieces in the herb-spice-flour mixture to coat all sides, shaking off excess. Allow to sit on a rack over a baking sheet, 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat about 3 inches of the oil in a large Dutch oven (or similar heavy pot with high sides) over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. (Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature.) When temperature is reached, LOWER the heat to medium to maintain it at 350.
- Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, being careful not to crowd the pot. Fry until medium golden brown, turning once, 15-18 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a baking sheet covered with paper towels.
- Allow the oil to return to temperature before adding more chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Steps:
- Combine milk and egg and set aside. Combine flour, salt, paprika, pepper, sage and tarragon in a plastic bag. Add a few pieces of chicken to the dry mixture and shake to coat.
- Dip the chicken in the egg and milk mixture. Shake the wet chicken and then coat a second time in the flour mixture. This can be baked in the oven at 375 to 400 for 45 minutes, made on the stove top, or in an electric frying pan on medium high heat.
- Brown chicken on all sides then reduce heat to medium low. Continue cooking until chicken is tender (app. 35 - 45) minutes. Do not cover. Turn chicken several times during cooking and drain on a paper towel when done.
- To deep fry heat three inches of oil to 365 in a deep fryer or deep saucepan and fry the chicken for 15 - 18 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cooking uncovered reduces the moisture in the pan and keeps the chicken coating crispy. A splatter screen for the top of the pan is helpful in keeping down the mess.

Tips:

- Season Well: Don't be shy with the spices and seasonings! Kentucky Fried Chicken's iconic flavor comes from its secret blend of 11 herbs and spices.
- Fry in Small Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pot when frying. Cook the chicken in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
- Control the Temperature: Maintain a consistent oil temperature of around 350°F (175°C) to achieve crispy, golden brown chicken.
- Drain & Rest: After frying, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute the juices.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Enhance the flavor of your KFC by offering various dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
